Title: After bridging the wan port and the lan port, the ip address of the lan port can
Post by: supertommy on November 15, 2024, 12:51:15 PM
In the latest version 24.7.8, once the lan port and wan port are bridged, I cannot log in to the management interface of the lan port immediately. Is it a bug, or is this problem caused by my wrong settings? Please ask professionals for guidance.

Are you trying to setup a transparent filtering bridge? or ... ?

When a NIC is a member of a bridge, you can no longer use it as a numbered interface, so you'd have to assign the new bridge to an interface, with an IP address, and use that for management access - see https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/transparent_bridge.html , particularly steps 4 and 9

Also it is generally a good choice to have a third interface for out of band management.
